Mechwarrior 5 Mods Not Working

#1

I have MW5+DLC from Epic and non of the mods from Nexus or Epic work for me.
Either there is no change at all or they brand the game crash at the kickoff with an mistake that "files can't be created" or something like that.

Has anyone whatever experiances with how to get the mods to work?

make certain any mods you install are updated for the dlc, i saw a few upwards there that claimed to be compatible just i havent actually tried to install whatever yet.

pgi needs to add more sanity checks for its mod support. for instance mods installed via the epic launcher should be version checked earlier the game tried to run with whatever of them. this is ok for mods installed manually but unacceptable for launcher installed mods. if y'all are going to manage mod installs with the launcher, actually do some management.

i was rather disturbed by the fact that the mods had to be removed manually despite being disabled in the launcher. that should remove the mods from the active mod directory (though they would be cached somewhere in your user directory). also the launcher should as well automatically disable mods that are out of engagement or update them if possible.

modern interoperability is besides an result that seems to have been left to the modders to resolve. like every modernistic needs its ain namespace and changes to game files need to be diffed in as opposed to overwritten with modified versions. the games with the best mod communities have this feature. there was a compatibility mod only it seemed to not work very well.

Nesutizale ,
The mods have to be re-created after the Update and DLC. I wrote several mods for the previous release and when information technology was updated they caused a crash. The Mod creator has to recreate the MODs post Update/DLC then wait for ones that state they accept been updated for DLC or Update.

Damn.. I hope that some of the mods get a "rework" and then. Espacialy Navids HUD and peradventure some sound mods.

I would call what PGI did equally basic. You brand good points if they wanted to meliorate it but it doesn't await like a priority. If they haven't already I'd exist surprised if they did so information technology might be a moot point.

well that is what pgi tends to practise. why spend money chasing excellence when you tin can box minimum viability and sell it?
